I am writing to let you know about a brand new Arabic text and DVD  
that will be available for courses beginning in September 2006.

Focus on Contemporary Arabic, by Shukri Abed is an engaging and  
topical text and DVD which consists of interviews with Arab citizens  
filmed on location in various Middle Eastern countries. These  
speakers represent all areas of the cultural spectrum, offering a  
realistic view of the diversity of the native-speaking populations.  
Some of the subjects explored include: The Arab Woman, Arab Media,  
The Question of Palestine, and Arab-American Relations.

To view segments of the video and read sample chapters, go to  
yalebooks.com/contemporaryarabic.

I do have a limited number of advance copies of the full text and DVD  
available for professors who would like to consider it for fall  
adoption. Please contact me if you wish to receive the full text and  
DVD now. If you would like to consider the text and DVD for a spring  
2007 or later adoption, please contact me and I will put you on the  
list to receive the finished text and DVD when it is published in  
August.
Focus on Contemporary Arabic is the fifth volume in the Conversations  
with Native Speakers series, which strives to offer pioneering  
multimedia language materials to students at the intermediate and  
advanced levels. For more information about other titles in the  
series, go to yalebooks.com/cns.

Shukri Abed is chairman of the Language and Regional Studies  
Department at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C., and the  
founder of the Arabic program at the University of Maryland, College  
Park.
